Lifemode Interactive, who are the established software developers behind the pioneering facial animation technology LIFESTUDIO:HEAD, announced today that their new LIFESTUDIO:LIPSYNC product is now available for shipment.
LIFESTUDIO:LIPSYNC is a new sophisticated automatic lip-synching tool that can be used within the Maya package for automatically animating speaking characters. The key benefits are that impressive animated results can be achieved within minutes and will save an artist a tremendous amount of time.
The pipeline is very straightforward: the plug-in prepares lip-synch data according to a record of speech. These data can be used as an input to a deformer of user’s choice that affects the character face mesh: it may be blendshapes, driven keys, etc. Scripts may be effectively used thanks to a simple data structure.
LIFESTUDIO:LIPSYNC is available from Lifemode Interactive now. Email sales@lifemi.com for pricing details or visit our website at www.lifemi.com (http://www.lifemi.com/).
